Pencil Thin Mustache Lyrics - Songs You Know By Heart - Jimmy Buffett

Now they make new movies in old black and white 

With happy endings, where nobody fights 

So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage 

Honey, jump right up and show your age 

Chorus: 

I wish I had a pencil thin moustache 

The Boston Blackie kind 

A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket 

And an autographed picture of Andy Devine 

I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny 

Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny 

Oh I wish I had a pencil thin moustache 

Then I could solve some mysteries too

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast 

Drinkin' on a fake I.D. 

Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana 

But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana 

Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin moustache 

Then I could solve some mysteries too 

Then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel 

Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore) 

Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge, 

But all you want to do is learn how to score 

Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear 

I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair 

But I can go to movies and see it all there 

Just the way that it used to be 

Photos 

Chorus: 

That's why I wish I had a pencil thin moustache 

The Boston Blackie kind 

A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket 

And an autographed picture of Andy Devine 

Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be 

Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby 

If I only had a pencil thin moustache 

Then I could do some cruisin' too 

Coda: 

Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah 

Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
